Description:
When discussing German design, my focus turns to the Bauhaus and Volkswagen. Therefore, I have developed this automotive icon that respects the faithful form and outlines of original German design. Volkswagen’s conception of an economic car for the masses is what I have developed with several innovations and aspects. The New Beetle has a front motor and front traction for the four wheels. The four doors perfectly disguise the masterful lines of the ceiling and the arcs of the wheels.
Its design in profile is marked by the super position of arcs. The windshield is almost vertical with a curvature in the superior part that it connects to the profile of the ceiling, showing to its silhouette almost square sight from the front part.
I have developed three distinct and finished designs – Classic, Tecno and GTI.
